Default MR2 w/S2000 Antenna on Ebay

Unbelievable.....wonder if it was ripped off. Would be funny to bust the guy if it is.

Thanks...I needed a break. I have been sitting here shaking my head and laughing for five minutes over this.

Do you think putting Porsche badges on or stooks will make them worth more?...

And an S2000 antenna is good for at least 10 hp, which is worth $500-1000, at least.

Hey-
My car has a S2000 antenna, bought legally. You can't do a straight S2000--->MR2 swap. It has to be altered to fit, so most people buy them from a aftermarket source, who buys the S2000 part from H and A. The adapter is from Radio Shack.
You all just have a great antenna, be happy! It doesn't whistle, or stand tall enough to be in the way, and it gets great reception.

PS...I do worry about my antenna getting stolen, though!

I'm going to de-lurk just for a minute here.

You shook your head and laughed for 5 minutes, because a guy mentions on Ebay that he has replaced the "whistling" stock antenna with a nicer S2000 antenna?

Perhaps you need to get out more.

(Returning to lurk mode)

I've heard that adding a Weinerschnitzel hotdog guy adds 15 hp on top of that. I'm not sure whether it matters if he's hanging on sideways or wrapped around upright.

I have a feeling he thinks that with the S2000 antenna listed as well, it will probably push the auction through. Obviously no one bought it. I hate green for cars that's for sure and most of the time it's always on special in the dealerships or something when all the nice colors are taken.
